A uniqueness theorem for viscous fluid motions in exterior domains (Q1088524)

A uniqueness theorem for Navier-Stokes equations in exterior domains is proved in the class of classical bounded solutions for which the difference between two arbitrary solutions is bounded at infinity too. Some estimates for Poisson's equation in the whole space are used to estimate the pressure at large distance. The final result is obtained using ''weighted energy equality'' [\textit{G. P. Galdi} and \textit{S. Rionero}, Ann. Mat. Pura App., IV. Ser. 1, 108, 361-366 (1976; Zbl 0346.76018)].
